What We're Up To

Well, things have been going pretty well. We had a nice time having my mom and dad here. My dad ended up staying a couple of extra days so he could work in Houston. Now, it's just the 4 of us but we're getting LOTS of help from my mom's group with dinners delivered every day for 2 weeks! It's been EXTREMELY helpful!

Sorry some of the pictures are a little fuzzy. I'm still learning how to use my new camera.

Here is our little engineer in training:

Here is how Papa babysits:

Papa and his girls

The aftermath:

As you can tell from the number of pictures of Jordan sleeping in the recliner, this is the only way we can get her to sleep at night!

Hmmm....should I sleep tonight? Nah!

Brandon calls this one the "Zoolander Pose"

Yay! I'm awake!!

Just kidding!

This is a picture of Brandon trying to figure out just how I fit Jordan inside of me. (I'm pretty sure she spent most of her 9 months completely stretched out like this!)

Jordan and Daddy

Here are some pictures of Jordan's Room. (It's hard to tell but the walls are a VERY light pink).

Brandon wanted me to post this picture. He did Allison's hair!!!

That's about it for us. Jordan is still confused about being awake during the day and asleep at night. But her umbilical cord fell off! We think she's going to have an "outie". Hopefully getting real baths before bedtime will help her sleep. Allison is still being WONDERFUL for us. She loves helping with everything now. Today, she was giving one of her monkeys a bottle while I gave Jordan hers. Plus, the girls have been taking naps at the same time (after Allison's lunch). I had been napping but today when I probably needed it the most, I did arts and crafts time! We're slowly getting back into the swing of things. Jordan already seems like she's getting big. It kind of makes me sad that it's going by so quickly since this could be my last little baby. Plus, she makes Allison seem so grown up! That makes me a little sad too! Basically being a mom makes me even more emotional than I was before! Didn't think that was possible! ;)

And we're gearing up for our trips! My mom and the girls and I are going to St. Louis in a couple of weeks for my Uncle Derek's wedding. I'm really excited about this because some of my dad's family hasn't even met Allison yet! Apparently they are going to have to wrestle the girls away from my Grandma! When we get back, I take Jordan to the doctor for her one month and then Brandon and the girls and I are going to Colorado for a week! Whoohoo!! Anyone who lives in Colorado, please make plans to see us! (We'll be there the 17-24). We really want our girls to meet all our friends! Brandon's brother and his new wife Malinda will be there while we're there too. They're having a reception like Brandon and I did. We're stealing a little of the spotlight at the reception. Well, Jordan is! (His parents are using it also as a "come meet our fantastic grandkids" party).

I'm going to go try to get some sleep since I have to take over baby duty in a couple hours. Take care! See you in Colorado!!
